And so we found it very mod
The worshiping of lesser gods
And lie they do
For lie they must
For they know it's the lie we trust

And so we're out there laying tracks
Wherever there's a vein to pack
There comes a time you want to take it back
Back
Back
Back
Back
But I can't think of nothing
I can't think of nothing
I can't think of nothing
I lack

The sailor asked how so young a man
Could have fallen into such a trap
And the ocean said the first time was with a friend
Who now can't take it back

It was a friendly gesture
As they all claim at the time
When that friend or kindly stranger
Free of charge gave him his first line

To harm this boy they're sure to say
Was never our intent
And we were as shocked as anyone
With just how far he went

He never thought it dangerous
As he stuck it in his vein
That a needle that had seemed so short

Could reach straight into his brain

It was upon this very beach
That his first line was tried
And who'd have thought way back then
That here is where he'd die

If these words seem repetitious
And the subject beaten dead
The reason that I still say it
Is it still needs to be said
